Three things I keep building toward.

01

Publishing stronger case studies and polishing FileLocker releases.

The current push is making the portfolio prove how I think while keeping shipped desktop work documented.

02

Internships, freelance web work, and gameplay systems collaboration.

I am especially interested in roles where product quality and systems thinking both matter.

03

Secure software, modern web apps, Discord tooling, and scalable game systems.

The through-line in my work is building software that stays reliable as complexity increases.

Projects worth opening first.

A tighter archive of shipped products, live experiments, and collaborator work — with enough context to show the decisions behind the interface.

Vacancy Filled

A private Roblox horror collaboration inspired by late-night tension and slow-burn environmental storytelling.

Connected gameplay systems, tightened interaction flow, and helped turn scattered mechanics into a more cohesive playable build.

FileLocker

A WinUI 3 / WebView2 desktop app with a React interface for protecting local files, checking hashes, reviewing metadata exposure, managing startup apps, cleaning approved system locations, and running update checks without sending file data to the cloud.

Expanded FileLocker from an encryption utility into a broader Windows security suite with modern AEAD payloads, safer output choices, guided maintenance workflows, and a repeatable Inno Setup release path.

What I keep building toward.

01

Roblox systems work

Built reusable Luau systems and integration support for private collaborator projects instead of one-off scripting.

02

Security-minded desktop tools

Shipped FileLocker through v1.3.1.0 as a local-first Windows security app with AEAD file protection, guided System Care workflows, Inno Setup packaging, and checksum-verified GitHub Releases updates.

03

Discord bot and dashboard work

Connected a Python Discord bot to a Cloudflare Workers dashboard with Discord OAuth, D1 settings storage, and bot sync endpoints.

04

Privacy pipeline experimentation

Structured PrivacyLens around a modular capture, detection, and overlay pipeline to support future ONNX-based iteration.

05

Clearer portfolio proof

Reworked this site around dedicated case studies, stronger messaging, and more intentional visitor paths.

The compact version, on paper.

Background, coursework, and current project experience — formatted and ready to read.
